Official Form 101

Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy 12/15

The bankruptcy forms use you and Debtor 1 to refer to a debtor filing alone. A married couple may file a bankruptcy case together-called a 

joint case-and in joint cases, these forms use you to ask for information from both debtors. For example, if a form asks, “Do you own a car,” 

the answer would be yes if either debtor owns a car. When information is needed about the spouses separately, the form uses Debtor 1 and 

Debtor 2 to distinguish between them. In joint cases, one of the spouses must report information as Debtor 1 and the other as Debtor 2. The 

same person must be Debtor 1 in all of the forms.

Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct 

information. If more space is needed, attach a separate sheet to this form. On the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number 

(if known). Answer every question.

Part 5: Explain Your Efforts to Receive a Briefing About Credit Counseling

15. Tell the court whether

you have received a

briefing about credit

counseling.

The law requires that you

receive a briefing about credit

counseling before you file for

bankruptcy. You must

truthfully check one of the

following choices. If you

cannot do so, you are not

eligible to file.

If you file anyway, the court

can dismiss your case, you

will lose whatever filing fee

you paid, and your creditors

can begin collection activities

again.

About Debtor 1: About Debtor 2 (Spouse Only in a Joint Case):

 I received a briefing from an approved credit 

 counseling agency within the 180 days before I 

 filed this bankruptcy petition, and I received a 

 certificate of completion. 

 Attach a copy of the certificate and the payment 

 plan, if any, that you developed with the agency.

 I received a briefing from an approved credit 

 counseling agency within the 180 days before I 

 filed this bankruptcy petition, but I do not have a 

 certificate of completion. 

 Within 14 days after you file this bankruptcy petition,

 you MUST file a copy of the certificate and payment 

 plan, if any.

 I certify that I asked for credit counseling 

 services from an approved agency, but was 

 unable to obtain those services during the 7 

 days after I made my request, and exigent 

 circumstances merit a 30-day temporary waiver 

 of the requirement. 

 To ask for a 30-day temporary waiver of the 

 requirement, attach a separate sheet explaining 

 what efforts you made to obtain the briefing, why 

 you were unable to obtain it before you filed for 

 bankruptcy, and what exigent circumstances 

 required you to file this case.

 Your case may be dismissed if the court is 

 dissatisfied with your reasons for not receiving a 

 briefing before you filed for bankruptcy.

 If the court is satisfied with your reasons, you must 

 still receive a briefing within 30 days after you file. 

 You must file a certificate from the approved 

 agency, along with a copy of the payment plan you 

 developed, if any. If you do not do so, your case 

 may be dismissed.

 Any extension of the 30-day deadline is granted 

 only for cause and is limited to a maximum of 15 

 days. 

 I am not required to receive a briefing about 

 credit counseling because of:

Incapacity. I have a mental illness or a mental 

 deficiency that makes me 

 incapable of realizing or making 

 rational decisions about finances. 

Disability. My physical disability causes me 

 to be unable to participate in a 

 briefing in person, by phone, or 

 through the internet, even after I 

 reasonably tried to do so.

Active duty. I am currently on active military 

 duty in a military combat zone. 

 If you believe you are not required to receive a 

 briefing about credit counseling, you must file a 

 motion for waiver of credit counseling with the court.

You must check one: You must check one:

Official Form 106C

Schedule C: The Property You Claim as Exempt 12/15

Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct information. 

Using the property you listed on Schedule A/B: Property (Official Form 106A/B) as your source, list the property that you claim as exempt. If more 

space is needed, fill out and attach to this page as many copies of Part 2: Additional Page as necessary. On the top of any additional pages, write 

your name and case number (if known).

For each item of property you claim as exempt, you must specify the amount of the exemption you claim. One way of doing so is to 

state a specific dollar amount as exempt. Alternatively, you may claim the full fair market value of the property being exempted up to 

the amount of any applicable statutory limit. Some exemptions-such as those for health aids, rights to receive certain benefits, and 

tax-exempt retirement funds-may be unlimited in dollar amount. However, if you claim an exemption of 100% of fair market value 

under a law that limits the exemption to a particular dollar amount and the value of the property is determined to exceed that amount, 

your exemption would be limited to the applicable statutory amount.

1. Which set of exemptions are you claiming? Check one only, even if your spouse is filing with you.

 You are claiming state and federal nonbankruptcy exemptions . 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(3) 

 You are claiming federal exemptions. 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(2)

2. For any property you list on Schedule A/B that you claim as exempt, fill in the information below.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

NOTICE TO CONSUMER DEBTOR(S) UNDER §342(b)

OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

In accordance with § 342(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, this notice to individuals with primarily consumer debts: (1) 

Describes briefly the services available from credit counseling services; (2) Describes briefly the purposes, benefits and 

costs of the four types of bankruptcy proceedings you may commence; and (3) Informs you about bankruptcy crimes and 

notifies you that the Attorney General may examine all information you supply in connection with a bankruptcy case.

You are cautioned that bankruptcy law is complicated and not easily described. Thus, you may wish to seek the 

advice of an attorney to learn of your rights and responsibilities should you decide to file a petition. Court employees 

cannot give you legal advice.

Notices from the bankruptcy court are sent to the mailing address you list on your bankruptcy petition. In

order to ensure that you receive information about events concerning your case, Bankruptcy Rule 4002 requires that you 

notify the court of any changes in your address. If you are filing a joint case (a single bankruptcy case for two 

individuals married to each other), and each spouse lists the same mailing address on the bankruptcy petition, you and your 

spouse will generally receive a single copy of each notice mailed from the bankruptcy court in a jointly- addressed 

envelope, unless you file a statement with the court requesting that each spouse receive a separate copy of all notices.

1. Services Available from Credit Counseling Agencies

With limited exceptions, § 109(h) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that all individual debtors who file

for bankruptcy relief on or after October 17, 2005, receive a briefing that outlines the available opportunities 

for credit counseling and provides assistance in performing a budget analysis. The briefing must be given within 

180 days before the bankruptcy filing. The briefing may be provided individually or in a group (including briefings 

conducted by telephone or on the Internet) and must be provided by a nonprofit budget and credit counseling agency 

approved by the United States trustee or bankruptcy administrator. The clerk of the bankruptcy court has a list that you 

may consult of the approved budget and credit counseling agencies. Each debtor in a joint case must complete the 

briefing.

In addition, after filing a bankruptcy case, an individual debtor generally must complete a financial

management instructional course before he or she can receive a discharge. The clerk also has a list of approved 

financial management instructional courses. Each debtor in a joint case must complete the course.

2. The Four Chapters of the Bankruptcy Code Available to Individual Consumer Debtors

Chapter 7: Liquidation ($245 filing fee, $75 administrative fee, $15 trustee surcharge: Total fee $335

Chapter 7 is designed for debtors in financial difficulty who do not have the ability to pay their existing

debts. Debtors whose debts are primarily consumer debts are subject to a “means test” designed to determine whether the 

case should be permitted to proceed under chapter 7. If your income is greater than the median income for your state of 

residence and family size, in some cases, the United States trustee (or bankruptcy administrator), the trustee, or creditors 

have the right to file a motion requesting that the court dismiss your case under § 707(b) of the Code. It is up to the court 

to decide whether the case should be dismissed.

Under chapter 7, you may claim certain of your property as exempt under governing law. A trustee may have the 

right to take possession of and sell the remaining property that is not exempt and use the sale proceeds to pay your 

creditors.

The purpose of filing a chapter 7 case is to obtain a discharge of your existing debts. If, however, you are

 Document Page 43 of 52
Form B 201A, Notice to Consumer Debtor(s) In re Ralph Martin Lagarde / Debtor Page 2

found to have committed certain kinds of improper conduct described in the Bankruptcy Code, the court may deny your UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

discharge and, if it does, the purpose for which you filed the bankruptcy petition will be defeated.

Even if you receive a general discharge, some particular debts are not discharged under the law. Therefore, you may 

still be responsible for most taxes and student loans; debts incurred to pay nondischargeable taxes; domestic support and 

property settlement obligations; most fines, penalties, forfeitures, and criminal restitution obligations; certain debts which are 

not properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; and debts for death or personal injury caused by operating a motor vehicle, 

vessel, or aircraft while intoxicated from alcohol or drugs. Also, if a creditor can prove that a debt arose from fraud, breach 

of fiduciary duty, or theft, or from a willful and malicious injury, the bankruptcy court may determine that the debt is not 

discharged.

Chapter 13: Repayment of All or Part of the Debts of an Individual with Regular Income ($235 filing

fee, $75 administrative fee: Total fee $310)

Chapter 13 is designed for individuals with regular income who would like to pay all or part of their debts in installments 

over a period of time. You are only eligible for chapter 13 if your debts do not exceed certain dollar amounts set forth in the 

Bankruptcy Code.

Under chapter 13, you must file with the court a plan to repay your creditors all or part of the money that you owe 

them, using your future earnings. The period allowed by the court to repay your debts may be three years or five years, 

depending upon your income and other factors. The court must approve your plan before it can take effect.

After completing the payments under your plan, your debts are generally discharged except for domestic support 

obligations; most student loans; certain taxes; most criminal fines and restitution obligations; certain debts which are not 

properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; certain debts for acts that caused death or personal injury; and certain long 

term secured obligations.

Chapter 11: Reorganization ($1,167 filing fee, $550 administrative fee: Total fee $1,717)

Chapter 11 is designed for the reorganization of a business but is also available to consumer debtors. Its provisions are 

quite complicated, and any decision by an individual to file a chapter 11 petition should be reviewed with an attorney.

Chapter 12: Family Farmer or Fisherman ($200 filing fee, $75 administrative fee: Total fee $275)

Chapter 12 is designed to permit family farmers and fishermen to repay their debts over a period of time from

future earnings and is similar to chapter 13. The eligibility requirements are restrictive, limiting its use to those whose 

income arises primarily from a family-owned farm or commercial fishing operation.

3. Bankruptcy Crimes and Availability of Bankruptcy Papers to Law Enforcement Officials

A person who knowingly and fraudulently conceals assets or makes a false oath or statement under penalty

of perjury, either orally or in writing, in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both. All 

information supplied by a debtor in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to examination by the Attorney General 

acting through the Office of the United States Trustee, the Office of the United States Attorney, and other components and 

employees of the Department of Justice.

WARNING: Section 521(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that you promptly file detailed information regarding your creditors, 

assets, liabilities, income, expenses and general financial condition. Your bankruptcy case may be dismissed if this information is not 

filed with the court within the time deadlines set by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the local rules of the court. The
